Argentina vs. Cape Verde schedule for this Friday, July 3, for the 2026 World Cup
Argentina will face Cape Verde in the penultimate round of the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for Friday, July 3, at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. The match will take place at 19:00 Argentine time and will be broadcast live by several television channels including DSports, Telefé, TyC Sports, and the Public Television, as well as digital platforms such as Paramount+ and Disney+. Argentina topped Group J during the first stage with wins against Algeria, Austria, and Jordan, with Lionel Messi scoring five goals. Coach Lionel Scaloni has made significant player rotations due to their assured group leadership position. However, there is uncertainty regarding the availability of Christian Romero, who suffered a knee injury similar to one he had before the tournament. If he cannot play, Nicolás Otamendi would replace him. Cape Verde, making its debut in a World Cup, has reached the Round of 16 undefeated after finishing second in Group H with three draws. They aim to make history by defeating the reigning world champions.
FIFA spoke about the rape complaint against the captain of Cape Verde, days before the match against Argentina
The FIFA has responded to allegations of sexual assault against Ryan Mendes, captain of Cape Verde's national team, ahead of their match against Argentina at the 2026 World Cup. According to O Globo, FIFA stated it takes any reports of inappropriate behavior 'with the utmost seriousness' and confirmed it is in contact with New Zealand authorities. However, it declined to comment further on potential internal investigations. The accusations involve a Brazilian woman who worked as an interpreter for New Zealand's delegation during the FIFA Series in March. She claims the alleged incident occurred after a match between Cape Verde and Chile, where she was invited to a private event at the hotel where players were staying. After realizing the invitation was not related to her work, she returned to her room but was later approached by Mendes, who allegedly entered her room forcefully and assaulted her. Medical examinations confirmed injuries consistent with sexual violence. The victim reported the incident to local police and requested both Cape Verde's Football Federation and FIFA to exclude Mendes from the World Cup, though neither organization responded.
An Argentina where failures contradict each other and priorities seem to have gone astray
The article discusses the current state of Argentina, highlighting a lack of clear priorities and persistent contradictions within the political and judicial systems. It focuses on recent developments in corruption investigations, particularly the Supreme Court's decision to uphold the asset seizure against Cristina Kirchner and others. The piece critiques the judicial system's inefficiency and inconsistency, noting that while some cases progress quickly, others become entangled in legal processes for years. The article also points out the apparent contradiction where the judiciary simultaneously seeks to recover public resources through judicial condemnation and orders the restoration of economic benefits for the same political figure. This perceived inconsistency contributes to public disillusionment with the justice system.

Semi-empty classrooms: the new landscape of the Argentine school
The article titled 'Aulas semivacías: el nuevo paisaje de la escuela argentina' by Infobae discusses the current state of schools in Argentina, highlighting the issue of underutilized classrooms due to reduced student enrollment. It explores the broader implications of this trend, including challenges faced by educational institutions and potential long-term effects on the education system. The piece examines factors contributing to declining attendance, such as economic instability and changes in family structures. While the article presents data and expert opinions, it does not provide a balanced perspective on alternative solutions or policies aimed at addressing these issues.
Dolarización: un experimento mental
The article explores the hypothetical scenario of Argentina officially adopting dollarization, analyzing the steps required for such a move and its potential impacts. It outlines how President Javier Milei could declare the US dollar as legal tender through a decree, set an exchange rate, and lift capital controls. The Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) would stop issuing new pesos, and the dollar would become the unit of account. The article suggests that immediate panic over converting pesos into dollars is unlikely, as the BCRA has sufficient reserves to cover most of the circulating pesos, though the conversion process could take up to two years. It also argues that bank runs are improbable due to increased confidence in an irreversible monetary system, citing Ecuador’s experience where deposit levels rose after a dolarization announcement. Additionally, the article discusses how the BCRA’s debt could be managed by transferring liabilities to the Treasury and highlights that international support from the U.S. or IMF could reinforce the credibility of the process.
Agost Carreño turns the fight for Adorni into a republican exam for Córdoba
In a week marked by tension in the national Congress over the issue of Adorni, legislator Oscar Agost Carreño from the PRO party has shifted the discussion to Córdoba with a resolution proposal aimed at generating political noise in the provincial unicameral legislature. The initiative seeks to have the Córdoba Legislature instruct its three senators and urge its 18 national deputies to promote and support constitutional mechanisms of oversight against National Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni. This includes measures such as interrogation and potential motion of censure, tools outlined in Article 101 of the National Constitution but rarely used since the 1994 constitutional reform. Carreño aims to bring the matter to the floor this Wednesday through a request for immediate consideration. While he has limited maneuverability for approval, the proposal opens up political discussions within the Córdoba peronist faction and opposition blocs facing President Javier Milei's government.

"Indecentes e inmorales": furia en Venezuela por 4 policías descubiertos robando dólares de los edificios caídos
In the wake of two devastating earthquakes that struck Venezuela, killing over 2,295 people and injuring more than 11,267, four police officers were arrested for stealing dollars found among the rubble of collapsed buildings. One officer was captured on video, which quickly went viral on social media, prompting Minister Diosdado Cabello to condemn the officers as 'impudic, indecent, and immoral' and promise they would be held accountable. The incident occurred in La Guaira, a region heavily affected by the earthquakes, where international rescue teams were working alongside local authorities. The officers, members of the Cuerpo de Investigaciones Científicas, Penales y Criminalísticas (CICPC), were expelled from their positions and ordered to appear before judicial authorities. Another video showed women taking the money from one of the officers and tearing it apart in front of him. Cabello emphasized that such actions during times of crisis would be met with severe punishment.
